A mixture of androsterone and clofibrate (atromid) lowers the blood cholesterol and triglycerides (Oliver, 1962). Clofibrate without androsterone (atromid-S) appears to have the same effect on the serum lipids (Oliver, 1963; Hellman et al., 1963). Atromid lowers platelet stickiness (Carson et al., 1963a, b) which is increased in patients with ischamic heart disease (McDonald and Edgill, 1957); ...

In the present study, we applied extrusion-cooking to polished rice flour so as prepare gluten-free pasta. The aim of work was investigate effect feed moisture (28, 30 and 32%) screw speed (60, 80 100 rpm) on selected pasta quality attributes (water absorption, cooking loss, firmness, stickiness microstructure) extrusion response (specific mechanical energy). Our results showed that significant...

A physicochemical property, stickiness, had been introduced by Nishigaki and Sakuma [1] to characterize the behavior of a molecule in a particular environment. As a convenient derivative of stickiness, oligostickiness was devised, which is closely related to the affinity of an oligonucleotide to a relevant DNA. In this paper we report that oligostickiness-maps, which can be generated by drawing...

The transport of fluids at functional interfaces, driven by the external stimuli, is well established. The lossless transport of oil-based fluids under water remains a challenge, however, due to their high stickiness towards the surface. Here, a superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic tri-phase water/oil/solid nanoarray surface has been designed and prepared. The unique tri-phase surfac...

We propose recurrence plots (RPs) to characterize the stickiness of a typical area-preserving map with coexisting chaotic and regular orbits. The difference of the recurrence properties between quasiperiodic and chaotic orbits is revisited, which helps to understand the complex patterns of the corresponding RPs. Moreover, several measures from the recurrence quantification analysis are used to ...

Engel and Wang (2008) argue that trade in durable goods is important for international real-businesscycle models to replicate the behavior of real imports and exports. We extend such a model with Calvostyle price stickiness. We find that the model with producer currency pricing (PCP) for investment goods and local currency pricing (LCP) for durable consumption performs better than the model wit...
